Demonic Spiders: The guard dogs from the very first game. This is upped in the Medal Of Honor: Underground bonus campaign "Panzerknacker Unleashed". The attack dogs there can only be killed by 9 pistol shots (the .45 only carries 8 bullets), two shotgun blasts or a grenade. The last two are very rare to find.

Fridge Brilliance: Generally, the first level in any game is an easy one. But Frontline's version of Omaha Beach will kill you, repeatedly, if you don't take the right path, and it's not explicitly marked so it's pretty much guaranteed to require at least a few restarts. One suspects they did this (killing you a lot) on purpose to represent what storming that beach really meant.

Genius Bonus: Rising Sun features the real-world Raffles Hotel as a Japanese stronghold. It was the same place where the Singapore Sling cocktail was created (which is the missions namesake).

Memetic Mutation: The Bread Is Deliciousnote In Frontline you could recover a small amount of health by eating freshly-baked bread, which would be accompanied by this message.

Your Disguise Has Been Blownnote Again from Frontline, in Operation Repunzel, the game apparently believes that, absent a reminder, shooting your way past four Germans and an alarm system will not seem like blowing your cover for the player.

Narm: The opening level of Rising Sun puts the player on board a battleship during the middle of the Pearl Harbor bombing, where they have to navigate the bombed ship by using a fire extinguisher to put out various fires in their way. Unfortunately playing on co-op reveals that instead of carrying the tank with one hand and aiming the nozzle with the other like any functioning human being, the player character instead leaves the hose attached to the tank and aims the extinguisher like a gun.

The Communications Blackout. Get ready to backpedal from the start of the final stretch all the way to Manon's truck, all the way through blasting away at a horde of stupidly fast dogs whose bites hurt like rifle shots, while Jerry shoots you through the brush because the AI has cheat-o-vision powers.

Panzerknacker Unleashed from MOH Underground. The first level had dogs that could be killed by 8 pistol shots or one shotgun blast. The 2nd level had zombies armed with automatics and ridiculous accuracy that explode when killed as well as armored knights that are always charging at you.
